Screw-in milling cutter VT229-1TM – 40 mm diameter with internal coolant (Teknik Makina)

The Screw-in milling cutter VT229-1TM is engineered for use with APMT 0903 indexable inserts, delivering coolant-fed chip control and robust mechanical stability for demanding finishing and semi-finishing operations.

• 40 mm diameter for stable cutting
• Internal coolant for improved chip evacuation
• Six cutting edges for even load distribution
• M16 screw-in connection for secure mounting

Greater process reliability through stable geometry

The combination of a 40 mm diameter body and six cutting edges provides a well-balanced cutter that minimises vibration and ensures consistent surface quality. The geometry supports even load distribution across the insert pockets, which reduces chatter and extends the effective life of indexable inserts. In practical terms, this stability translates into fewer rejects and more predictable cycle times on serial parts, improving overall process reliability in CNC milling applications.

Improved cooling and chip management for longer tool life

This tool features internal coolant, routed directly to the cutting zone to support controlled chip formation and quicker heat dissipation. Direct coolant supply helps prevent built-up edge and reduces thermal softening of the insert, which in turn maintains cutting performance across longer production runs. For operators transitioning from external coolant setups, the internal feed simplifies fixturing and reduces the need for high-pressure external nozzles while enhancing the consistency of chip evacuation.

Secure assembly and quick serviceability on the shop floor

A robust M16 screw-in connection ensures the cutter seats reliably in standard holders, making clamping repeatable and simple. The cutter uses a Torx screw (M2.5x5.5) tightened with a T8 key for insert retention, enabling rapid insert changes and low maintenance downtime. With a total length of 65.3 mm and a cutting length of 40 mm, the tool is suitable for a range of workpieces where compact reach and rigid support are required. The design is compatible with APMT 0903 indexable inserts from Korloy, offering flexibility in insert grades for different materials and cutting conditions.

Practical benefits for procurement and production planning

Suppliers and production engineers will appreciate the straightforward interface: standard mounting thread, common insert family and coolant integration reduce the number of variants to stock while supporting reliable tool performance. The cutter’s moderate mass (0.299 kg) keeps dynamic loads low, aiding machine life and lowering spindle wear risk. Choosing this type of screw-in cutter helps streamline tool management and supports predictable maintenance intervals, a decisive factor for continuous manufacturing environments.
